Oasis Paradés

Alps and Olona river's daughter

The Oasis Paradés, situated in via Unione in Parabiago, consists of meadows, rows of trees and shrubs and a humid zone. This area is powered by the water coming from the Olona river. Once upon a time the flooded areas characterized the Olona river valley where the Oasis is located. Since the time of the Romans, almost all of them got reclaimed for agricultural necessities. The area owes its noun to a farmer from Parabiago who used to answer:"grazie, par adés (thank you, for now)" to whom realized a work for him, since he couldn't pay them.
The Oasis was born in the range of the project "Qualificying the periurban landscape along the Olona river. Interventions of ecologic balance for the realization of the expository plate of EXPO 2015" made by the Ente Regionale per i Servizi all'Agricoltura e alle Foreste ERSAF (Regional Authority for the Agricultural and Forestry Services).
